AGENDA APPROVAL Pelican Bay Services Division Landscape & Safety Committee Meeting January 31, 2023 IMs. Hamilton motioned, Mr. Cullen seconded to approve the agenda as presented. I The motion carried unanimously. APPROVAL OE 6/28/22 MEETING MINUTES Ms. Hamilton motioned, Mr. Cullen seconded to approve the 6/28/22 meeting minutes as resented. The motion carried unanimously. AUDIENCE COMMENTS Mr. Cullen questioned, based on a resident inquiry, whether the bridge on Gulf Park Drive is inspected on a regular basis. Mr. Dorrill commented that there are Florida statutes on structural inspections. However, in this case the structure is a box culvert, and not technically a bridge. Staff will confirm with Mr. Jim Carr, our ABB engineer, whether this is the case. Dr. Chicurel thanked Mr. Duprey for repainting our community's sharrows and installing temporary signs. He also thanked Mr. Dorrill for malting line of sight improvements possible throughout the community and thanked Mr. Greenfield for implementing these improvements. PHASE II SIDEWALK PROJECT UPDATE Dr. Chicurel commented that photos of our Phase II Sidewalk Project were included in the agenda packet along with the current estimated project timeline. Mr. Coleman commented that our contractor, Quality Enterprises, has completed 2100 linear feet of sidewalk, and is now laying sidewalk using the hand -forming process. He noted that we receive daily reports from our inspection services contractor. Mr. Weir expressed concern that the contractor removed the full length of the existing Ridgewood Drive sidewalk over a month ago, causing a great inconvenience to residents. Mr. Cullen also commented that this was a safety issue. Mr. Coleman commented that we cannot dictate the means and methods to any contractor. Dr. Chicurel commented that we will bring this issue up to the contractor at the next construction meeting ("demo all vs. demo portions"). Mr. Griffith commented on his observations of the installation of the new Ridgewood Dr. sidewalk so far, including the following. • Quality Enterprises' management is unsatisfactory, and QE staff lacks irrigation knowledge. • The silk screening installed by the contractor appears to be pointless and omitting this installation for the remainder of the project should be considered. • The contractor's workers drew "incorrect" lines (relating to utility conflicts) on his lawn. • The contractor was unaware that irrigation pipes located under the sidewalk should be sleeved. It appears that the contractor will now sleeve these pipes going forward. • In at least nine separate sections on the new sidewalk there is graffiti (initials, hearts, footprints, etc.). Concrete poured in the early morning would set up by the afternoon/early evening (before QE staff left the job site for the day), preventing people from damaging (adding graffiti to) the new sidewalk. Dr. Chicurel noted that the PBF allows contractors to work from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. • The final new sidewalk looks great. Mr. Coleman commented that the finished sidewalk product will not be accepted if it contains any graffiti. Mr. Dorrill commented that the contract specifications state that any 2 Pelican Bay Services Division Landscape & Safety Committee Meeting January 31, 2023 damaged concrete must be connected. In addition, based on the discussion by Mr. Griffith, Mr. Dorrill stated that the following items will be reviewed with the contractor and the construction inspection service. • Disruptions to the neighborhood should be minimized. • The finished project must meet specifications. • All corrective actions must be taken where necessary. • Defaced or chipped sections of concrete must be corrected. Mr. Dorrill noted that he has observed that in one area, where the contractor stripped the forms out of the concrete, a "plug" of concrete was also ripped out. The contract will be reviewed to determine how the contract specifications deal with damaged or defaced sections, and what is required for repair or replacement. • The contractor should make a determination as to whether the installation of silk screens is a County requirement of a right-of-way permit, and if so, whether it is possible to obtain a variance so that no additional screens are required to be installed in future project locations (they appear to have no purpose). • Plans must be reviewed to address utility conflicts on the project. Dr. Chicurel commented that the current project timeline shows that concrete replacement on Ridgewood Drive will be finished by March 15, which will be followed by work on Gulf Park Drive; the timeline shows project completion by Sept. 2024. Mr. Dorrill commented that the test samples of the new concrete show that the quality of the concrete exceeds expectations. STREET LIGHTS Dr. Chicurel commented that we have 309 LED fixtures left to replace on our street light poles. Mr. Duprey commented that we have at least three spare street light poles stored at our 6200 Watergate Way property. Mr. Coleman commented that we have access to/knowledge of the location of our street light pole molds. Dr. Chicurel commented that not all of our intersections and crosswalks are well illuminated. He discussed the possibility of adding "extended arms" to our street light poles where appropriate. Mr. Dorrill commented that about five years ago, the PBSD hired a retired FPL engineer (Tom Hollis) to complete a lighting analysis/study of our existing PB street lights. He commented that staff will provide this study to the committee for review and then suggested that we do a nighttime survey/assessment of our critical pedestrian crosswalks. He noted that the committee should determine whether any actions related to this issue would affect the FY24 PBSD budget, no later than May of this year. Ms. Hamilton requested an update on our project to install flashing lights at the Mystique and North Tram station crosswalks. Mr. Duprey commented that he has been in constant contact with the contractor, who is still waiting on several parts to complete the project. Dr. Chicurel comrented that a map of the community, with a focus on Oakmont Parkway, was included in the agenda packet. I-Ie commented on the characteristics of Oakmont Parkway including, (1) single-laned traffic, (2) an enormous median, (3) seven streets intersecting on the west side, and (4) no sidewalk on either side of the street. Dr. Chicurel commented that the lack of sidewalks force pedestrians and bicyclists into the road, which may be a disaster waiting to happen. Mr. Cullen agreed with Dr. Chicurel's assessment and noted that this neighborhood was originally planned as a neighborhood with natural landscaping, where sidewalks would have been 3 Pelican Bay Services Division Landscape & Safety Committee Meeting January 31, 2023 out of place. Dr. Chicurel noted that we have been addressing line -of -sight issues on Oakmont Parkway. Ms. Beth Stein commented (1) she does not see a "dangerous condition" on Oakmont Parkway resulting fiom a lack of sidewalks, (2) Oakmont Parkway residents have easy access to the Oakmont Lake pathway, and (3) Oakmont Parkway homeowners who plant landscaping on their property within the easement know that they plant at their own peril. Ms. Jill Brader commented that cars travelling on Oakmont Parkway appear to be astute and aware of bicycle traffic. Mr. Coleman commented that there is 21 feet of right-of-way on the east side of Oakmont Parkway, which would be the only potential location to install a new sidewalk. Mr. Dorrill suggested that staff obtain engineer -prepared sketches that depict a pathway constructed on the east side, along with a preliminary assessment of any necessary related tree removal. This work would not include an estimate of cost. Dr. Chicurel agreed with Mr. Dorrill and suggested that staff move forward in obtaining concept sketches. TREE PROJECT CONSULTANT UPDATE Mr. Dorrill commented that he has approved the scope of work for a landscape architect/consultant to provide a proposal to create additional tree canopy corridors in strategic areas in PB, with no sidewalk conflicts or increases in maintenance. He noted that the next step is for the landscape architect (CPW) to meet with Mr. Griffith and staff, and directed staff to schedule a kick-off meeting. Ms. Jacob commented that the landscape architect has 120 days to complete the scope of work. ADDITIONAL AUDIENCE COMMENTS Ms. Brader commented on (1) drivers in Pelican Bay who stop at intersections with signs stating "stop when pedestrians in crosswalk" even though no pedestrians are present, (2) US 41 traffic noise near the Ridgewood Drive area, (3) drivers speeding on US 41, (4) the need for a traffic light at the intersection of Gulf Park Drive & US 41, and (5) the danger to northbound drivers exiting Gulf Park Drive who are forced to turn right onto US41, are then forced to make a dangerous U-turn, in order to travel northbound. She thanked staff for their efforts in the December cat rescue from the underground pipe. Ms. Herrmann commented that our new Sheriff's Dept. liaison is Sgt. Brian Sudano, and that she will provide his contact information to Ms. Brader. Dr. Chicurel commented that he will include an agenda item on the Gulf Park Drive/1J.S' 41 intersection on the next L&S Committee meeting's agenda. Mr. Coleman noted that US41 is a state road and therefore the state makes all traffic decisions for this road. Mr. Dorrill commented that in the past, we have looked into the possibility of adding a traffic light at this intersection, and the state informed us that this intersection does not meet the mathematical formula criteria for a traffic light addition. The meeting was adjourned at 2:55 Joe Chicurel, Chairman Minutes approved LI ashresented OR [] as amended ON � ]date 4 Agenda Item #6b Page 1 of 2 Agenda Item #6b Page 2 of 2 From: Breuggeman, Waiter Walter.BreuggemanBdot.state.tl.us B Subject: RE: QUICK CURB Date: August 16, 2023 at 1050 AM .. . To: Joe Chicurei Ichicurel@gmail.com Ca: Neil Dorrill, PBSD Administrator nallOdmgti.com, Agacinski, David David.Agacinskifdot.state.tl.us Joe, My sincere apologies for not responding sooner. We do have a resurfacing proiect — FPID 441512-1. It is currently proposed to be "let' for construction in July 2026 (Fiscal Year 2027 funding). It is my understanding we are proposing to "directionalize" Gulf Park Drive with this resurfacing project. This would ultimately allow for northbound and southbound left turns off the mainline, but would not allow for the eastbound left turn out from Gulf Park Drive. Note this would reinforce the signage already in place to prohibit the left turn out from Gulf Park Drive.
